Judge might have the power, but not the motivation. All along, I've been asking, "Is this case any different than what typically happens in that court?" and all along, I get shrugs and vacant stares.
So as much as we might get up in arms about all this, we don't have a subjective rubric against which to judge this particular case. We might have thought it moved too slow, but it might be perfectly typical.
How 'bout a speedier trial except he doesn't receive all the convictions he did here...?
